I've got 1700 TT, 800 multi 700 turbine SIC, and I just got the form email from Republic saying

"After careful review and consideration we have decided to pursue other candidates that more closely match our requirements for the position."

anybody have thoughts on this.. whats the deal there now.. last I heard they were still cxling flights due to lack of crew..

Same thing happened when I applied online to XJET over a year ago with 2200 TT and 900 121 SIC. e-mail said I wasn't qualified enough. Oh well. Musta been some internal error.

you're overqualified.
 
Yeah you have the hours, but maybe they just didnt like you. Numbers in a log book don't entitle you to a job.
 
Thanks for the inspirational post.. "Nuge"..

Nobody is entitled to a job.. but an interview if where you find out if you like a person or not.. not an online form application..

Sorry if I came across too blunt! I was just trying to make the point that people shouldn't feel entitled to a job purely because of the hours they've logged. I'm sure it was just a glitch like that other guy said. Good luck to you!
 
It happend to me. 3800tt 1300 turb. 2200mel 825 hours in the emb145. I accepted a job offer with a local charter company as a Lear SIC and King Air Captain. About a few weeks after that they called me three times and emailed me once. Definetely a problem with the server. Don't worry.

What happened with Mesa? I bet you wish you would have taken everyones advice on not going there now, but you knew what you were in for and you were going to upgrade so soon...
 
I deserve that to an extent. I will openly admit that Mesa is worse than I had envisioned.

However, I will also point out that my equipment is being eliminated. If it wasn't I would be staying and upgrading as I had planned.

Balls.. it's funny though, I did just take the time to go back and read some more of my old posts. I will be the first to admit I have learned a TON in the last 10 months. Mesa is worse than I ever could have imagined. At the time though RAH was still 1500/300 and I didn't get on with SKYW. So while Mesa has been bad, it helped me get to a point where I have more options now.

With how the hiring environment has changed though in the past 10 months, I can't in good faith recommend anyone go there.

Attention all newbs considering Mesa: Read above quote from somebody who is leaving there.
 
lol at the people who think you are getting this letter after the interview. LISTEN CAREFULLY: HE HAS NOT INTERVIEWED YET; HE IS GETTING THIS EMAIL AFTER APPLYING ONLINE. Its a server problem, don't let it shake your confidence.

This has happened before??

Cause I gotta tell you this shook my confidence a lot..

Cale,

If getting a rejection letter via e-mail shook your confidence, you might want to try a different career.

Most pilots get rejected more than they get hired. It's going to happen throughout your career. If RAH doesn't want you, try again or tell them to F off and move on. Something better will come along!
 
Try TSA. This is copied off avinterviews.com Note age and college degree status.

In 2002 I applied to ExpressJet when I met the minimums but I still got a little note card in the mail stating I didn't meet their criteria that they were looking for. In 2005 I interviewed there and was hired. I still have that little note card to remind me that back when I was rejected I thought the world was going to end, and later on it was almost humorous that I worked at the same airline.

Hahah.. I have no problem getting rejected in general. However at least 20 FO's from my current company all with less time and experience than me have gotten interviews there in the last 6 weeks.. makes me wonder what I did wrong.. that was the confidence shaking part.

I can get rejected with the best of them.. I'm sitting at about 33% success right now.. :)

In 2002 there were people on the street at Expressjet, they were not even interviewing
